The picture of the SU-30 looks wrong. The plane is huge and the pilots and ground crewman are small in perspective.
I know telephoto lenses can distort perspectives but that plane is standing on main gear struts that are 8 feet tall.

I thought the same thing. Tiny chicom pilot and wso? Still, the canopy and drop from front to back look huge.

The SU-30 is a big plane. Considerably bigger than the MiG-29 and F-16, and comparable in size to the F-15. See the small picture below showing how large the SU-27/30 and the F-15 are compared to the people around them:
